Some men find her sexy
Some men disagree
But if she's not
It's not because she doesn't want to be
She wears a push-up bra from Frederick's
Five-inch high heel shoes
Maybelline and Rubinstein and Avon's best perfume
And she's a working girl

She's a working girl
She is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

Some find her too aggressive
She don't know how to stop
Cause she's the kind that don't look down
Until it's from the top
She's elegant and stylish
French perfume and a fur
Designer clothes by Halston and Diane Von Furstenburg
And she's a working girl

She's a working girl
She is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

She has taken her place among the tallest of trees
But she weeps like a willow when she's brought to her knees
'Cause she's a working girl
You will find her dressed according to standard uniform
'Cause she must dress in comfort for the job she must perform
She has so many faces, she wears so many names
She goes so many places and she does so many things
'Cause she's a working girl

She's a working girl
She is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

She's a working girl
She is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

She's a working girl
She is single and free
She's a mother and wife and she's proud to be
A working girl

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
